What my clients are saying…
“Paul serves the City of Mequon in our economic development efforts to revitalize an underutilized commercial corridor within proximity of our Civic Campus. Our intent is to create a heart to the city. Paul serves as an educator to our policymakers about being proactive with redevelopment opportunities and public/private partnerships and is working to create matches between property owners, business owners and interested investors or developers. While we are less than half way through the first year of our efforts, I find Paul’s efforts, education and real-world knowledge to be a benefit for the City and the interested stakeholders involved in the process.”
Kimberly Tollefson, Director of Community Development; City of Mequon WI
“Paul W. Ehrfurth & Associates conducted several industry cluster roundtables for the Fox Cities Economic Development Partnership in 2008 providing critical information for development of an effective marketing strategy for the Fox Cities’ economy. Paul’s experience and expertise was the difference in insuring the exercise was highly effective and therefore very productive.”

“In the case of bringing together rival municipalities from across Marathon County to agree on a non-compete for economic development, Paul could only complete the agreement by first earning the municipal leaders trust. Paul did that for us almost immediately. He continued to maintain their trust throughout the process enabling him to craft a work product of a quality that will provide benefits to Marathon County municipalities for a long time to come.”
Roger Luce, Executive Director, Wausau Region Chamber; Wausau, WI
“When faced with challenges to reorganize our economic development initiatives, we consulted with Paul to assist us. Paul had an enriched knowledge base on economic development practices and advanced several new ideas for us to pursue. Today our Business Development initiatives are much stronger, in large part due to Paul’s advice.”
Dee Olsen, Executive Director; Sheboygan County Chamber of Commerce; Sheboygan WI
“While serving as Village Administrator of Winneconne, I had the pleasure of working closely with Paul during a one year period while developing a municipal economic development strategy. Paul was able to identify key figures in the community and as the result of much hard work developed working relationships with these individuals and quickly converted them to spokesmen for the community. It is not often that you meet a professional with such enthusiasm.”
Stephen B. McNeil, City Administrator: City of Sturgeon Bay, WI
